Vecchi, Tigers Wallop Firebirds in Game 1 of R1
The Detroit (GCL) Tigers started the Round 1 in dominant fashion today, blowing out the visiting Atlanta (GCL) Firebirds at Joker Marchant Stadium by a score of 12-2 and securing an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Tigers third baseman Balduíno Vecchi had a standout performance. He was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5.

The Tigers took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Facing Atlanta (GCL) hurler Shawn Moore with one out, Vecchi hit a 2-run home run.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Vecchi said. "And the same is true when you lose."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wednesday, September 6th , 2023.
